- What can a manager of a luxury apartment do when he finds that the richest occupant, who turns to be an investment fraud, has taken the pension fund of the apartment's employees? Josh Kovaks, the manager, has nothing in hand but to go for the cash safety net of Arthur Shaw, the investment fraud. He forms a team with Slide, a crook; Odessa, Charlie and Enrique, his colleagues; and Fitzhugh, an evicted building resident. It's a challenge for them to keep away agent Claire's team away from the scene. The heist is planned on Thanksgiving to keep away distractions. The only challenge now for Josh and his team is the heist itself.
- When a group of hard-working guys find out they've fallen victim to their wealthy employer's Ponzi scheme, they conspire to rob his high-rise residence.
- ¨A robbery can change very quickly. You have to adapt to the situation at any moment. Anything can happen.¨ Tower Heist is the latest Brett Ratner vehicle, and it isn't as good as the film that made him popular, Rush Hour, but it still has it's funny moments thanks to Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller's performance. I'm barely giving this a fresh rating because I was entertained, but by no means is it memorable and I can understand if many people found this movie stupid because the robbery is beyond ridiculous, but I guess that is alright because they never try to take things seriously. Ratner continues to remind us that he's just having fun with this film and he can go overboard with the plot if he wants to. The entertaining moments come from the classic Eddie Murphy lines and Ben Stiller always playing his usual self. People who enjoy his comedy will like this movie, but those who don't like him won't like this either because it's your typical Ben Stiller comedy. I just went along with the robbery scene and decided to have fun with it knowing it wasn't trying to take itself seriously. Screenwriter, Jeff Nathanson, could have used some of the knowledge he gained when adapting the script for Ocean's Eleven, but I guess it wasn't that important for him. They focused on the jokes and that was enough for me. The action is ridiculous, but the comedy is present so I had a decent time with Tower Heist.<br/><br/>As for the story goes we are introduced to the main character right away, Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller), who works as the manager of the Tower, which has the most expensive residential apartments in New York City. He is really dedicated to his job and is dedicated to keeping its residents happy, including wealthy financier Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) who even manages his and the rest of the employees pensions. Charlie (Casey Affleck) is Josh's brother in law and he also works at the Tower despite being a terrible worker under his high standards. Some of the other staff members are Lester (Stephen Henderson), Enrique (Michael Peña), Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe from Precious), and Miss Iovenko (Nina Arianda). Together they seem to have everything pretty much in control, but one day the FBI comes to arrest Mr. Shaw for financial fraud and Agent Denham (Tea Leoni) makes the arrest. Shaw pays bail and undergoes house arrest until court date. Lester tries to commit suicide when he hears about Mr. Shaw. When Josh finds out that Lester had given Shaw his entire retirement savings to invest on, he snaps and storms Shaw's apartment in search for answers. Josh loses his temper and is fired from his job along with Charlie and Enrique who were with him at the moment. The three, along with a former tenant who was evicted from the apartment, Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick), and a thief named Slide (Eddie Murphy) decide to commit the perfect crime: steal the 20 million Shaw has hiding in his apartment and give back the money he has stolen to the rest of the apartment staff.<br/><br/>There isn't really much more I can say about this movie. I liked it enough to give it a fresh grade, but I wouldn't be recommending it or watching it again. This is no Rush Hour, it doesn't have that many funny moments, but it still managed to keep me watching it with a smile in my face. I am a Ben Stiller fan so that might be one reason I actually enjoyed this movie because it really doesn't have many other positive things going for it. Eddie Murphy is funny in this, but he doesn't have many scenes. Casey Affleck is far from the roles he got back in 2007 with Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but he's still a likable character. Sidibe proved she can also do comedy, and not just dramas. She does have some funny scenes. I also enjoyed Broderick's performance quite a bit. The cast in this film is really interesting and Ratner has done some good work in the past so I can see why I was entertained with this film despite the plot and the material. It is a decent film with some funny moments and a good way to spend a boring evening at the house, but don't go expecting much more than that. It's not a buddy comedy either so don't go expecting a lot of scenes between Murphy and Stiller because there really aren't that many.<br/><br/>http://estebueno10.blogspot.com
- Brett Ratner's Tower Heist is a much better film than anyone could anticipate. Brett Ratner is a critically-panned director so I never thought the ratings would be high as it is. This film has a stellar cast which provided great chemistry and over-the-top humor, a plot that actually has some relation to real-life, and just some cool stunts that you would have to suspend your beliefs of reality. In other words, it's a fun popcorn film to entertain amongst the award movies.<br/><br/>This film is about how the owner of a hotel pulled off a Ponzi scheme and left the employees all in debt. These employees gather together to get revenge and take all the money he has in his office.<br/><br/>It's really nice to see Eddie Murphy come back to form. I haven't seen this kind of Eddie since his days of Beverly Hills Cop. The Shrek series aside, Eddie has been a disaster for a long time. His trademark fast-talk has come back stronger than ever. Ben Stiller has his lovely moments as well. It's nice to see how much fun these two guys were having. Alan Alda makes one creepy bad guy and he was very convincing.<br/><br/>Overall, this is a fun movie that goes for brawn over brain. I loved that one scene that involves a Ferrari dangling out of the top of the Tower. I don't know how they can do such amazing stunts. Amongst films of the awards season, it's always nice to see these pleasant popcorn films. I rate this film 8/10.
- More than the marquee names, the second bananas keep the movie bobbing along: Broderick's pharmaceutically vague hangdog act is perfect ("If you need me, I'll be living in this box"), while Peña turns out to be a fine comedian, an enthusiastically yipping dumb puppy here.
- A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money or the money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned by the individual or organization running the operation. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. Perpetuation of the high returns requires an ever-increasing flow of money from new investors to keep the scheme going. The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors. Usually, the scheme is interrupted by legal authorities before it collapses because a Ponzi scheme is suspected or because the promoter is selling unregistered securities. As more investors become involved, the likelihood of the scheme coming to the attention of authorities increases. The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi who became notorious for using the technique in 1920. Ponzi did not invent the scheme (for example, Charles Dickens's 1857 novel Little Dorrit described such a scheme) but his operation took in so much money that it was the first to become known throughout the United States. Ponzi's original scheme was based on the arbitrage of international reply coupons for postage stamps; however, he soon diverted investors' money to make payments to earlier investors and himself. a5c7b9f00b
